Greetings.
I have just completed a migration using a temporary virtual host (VMware ESXi 5.1). Now it is time to back up the finished Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server and restore it to its permanent home on another ESXi host. The other ESXi host is the same version and build, and the VM settings (VM version, disk type, etc) are the same. There are no virtual machine snapshots involved.
However, when I do this, I get some unexpected results.
